    Itinéraire réalisé de Riale (D1) à MontCenis (D34) du 19/08 au 12/09/23.
    Depuis le refuge Margaroli, passer par la droite du lac et grimper vers le bivouac Ettori Conti (sommaire, 2 pièces avec table et banc + 6 couchages, très humide). En descendant vers l'Alpe Devero, plusieurs zones de bivouac possibles près des différents lacs à différentes altitudes (attention élevages bovins à proximité).
    Au niveau de Alpe Forno Inferiore (vente de fromage), le panneau est tourné et semble indiquer le chemin vers la droite : partir à gauche sur le chemin carrossable et suivre H98 CRAMPOLIO, ALPE DEVERO. A Crampolio, hôtel restaurant (Wifi) et vente de fromages, yaourts, charcuterie et pain. Quel intérêt de descendre à Alpe Devero, alors qu'il existe un chemin qui conduit directement au Pian della Rossa directement en restant à niveau ?

    An alternative route goes from Rif. Margaroli to Lake Busin and then over the Btta della Valle to Alpe Devero. Somewhat longer but beautiful tour.

    If you don't want to go all the way down to Alpe Devero there's a lovely place to stay in Crampiolo: Albergo La Baita. Highly recommended!
